## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: CLOSED — no report required.
This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either
the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the
operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file
for audit but no formal notice was sent.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-22 12:20:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies shapechange.xyz as an active credential harvesting domain under investigation for generic phishing operations. This domain was flagged due to its recent registration and association with suspicious infrastructure. The threat level remains under investigation, but early indicators suggest a high-risk campaign targeting unsuspecting users.  This domain was registered on March 28, 2026, through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com and resolves to IP address 172.67.146.219. VirusTotal currently shows 0 detections out of 95 scanners, indicating it has evaded initial detection mechanisms. The domain utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which may lend it an air of legitimacy to potential victims. No known blocklists or trust score evaluations have flagged this domain as of this assessment.  Mitigation steps for credential harvesting domains include immediate network-level blocking of shapechange.xyz and its resolved IP (172.67.146.219). Organizations should inspect DNS logs for recent queries to this domain and correlate with user-reported phishing attempts. Users who may have interacted with this domain should be instructed to change passwords immediately, enable multi-factor authentication where possible, and scan their devices for malware. Security teams are advised to monitor for lateral movement if any credentials were harvested, as credential reuse attacks are common in such campaigns.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260422-033B5A
Favicon MD5:       ce942a4abaa67d5b5147ce8b2ed2f107
TLS cert SHA-256:      fc4a60aaa27d4b812ec854d45dc333d495f575bee4bf1b5f03e43ad8cadc083d

## SCORING METHODOLOGY
----------------------------------------------------------------
Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates:
  - VirusTotal positive ratio
  - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus,
    CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB)
  - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor)
  - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.)
  - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing
  - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts
  - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording)
  - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures)
  - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...)
  - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal)
  - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record)
  - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team)

A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does
NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their
first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite
score and the individual indicators above, not just VT.
